What better way to push both products than have Liotta be a split-personality KFC spokesperson? That’s exactly what they’ve done.

Liotta opens with Sanders’ signature “Howdy folks,” but then quickly grapples with his dueling personas. One is a gruff, more callous “Nashville Hot,” while the other is the amiable “Georgia Gold.”
